Hair Loss Management

[UtopiaSoon]

Hi guys,

I’m looking for some advice regarding hair loss and anti-DHT protection, as I really want to preserve my hair as much as possible.

Background:

• I started using testosterone about 3 years ago
• Since then I’ve done 3 cycles, each lasting roughly 4–6 months
• The highest doses I’ve used on cycle were 600 mg/week testosterone and 600 mg/week Primobolan
• During 2023, 2024 and 2025 I was either on cycle or in between on what I called “TRT”, but realistically it was around 300 mg/week
• I did not run proper PCT during this period; I’ve only done my first real PCT now, after almost 3 years of use

Hair loss situation:

• Gradual thinning on the crown
• Overall thinning on the top
• Some thinning and recession in the front

Current hair protocol:

• Topical finasteride 0.025% + minoxidil 5%
• Applied once daily
• About 1 ml total, spread across the scalp
• Started using this earlier this year

So far things seem relatively stable, but I’m not sure if this will be enough once I’m back on hormones.

Next steps:

• In about 10 days I plan to start TRT again
• After that, I’m planning another 6-month cycle with testosterone and Primobolan

Questions:

• Does it make sense to stay on 0.025% topical finasteride?
• Or would it be smarter to move up to 0.1% topical finasteride once I’m on TRT / cycle?

Long-term plan:

• Run the upcoming cycle
• Next year, do a proper PCT
• Stay off everything (or very low TRT) for around 1 year
• Focus fully on hair recovery (finasteride, minoxidil, microneedling)
• See if some regrowth, especially on the crown, is possible

If anyone has experience with high-dose testosterone cycles, topical finasteride while on cycle, or regrowth after going off and running PCT, I’d really appreciate your input.
